1. Be present and engaged with the world (landscape is always changing)
2. Be tolerant (is not our job to root out evil) but also be steadfast in your faith and principles (amid the weeds)
3. Be ready for the harvest (ply your skills…do not forget to stay sharp…do not neglect your own value that you bring to the world)
